About
Dr. Yohei Nomoto is a leading figure in urological oncology, with a focused expertise in the perioperative complications of robotic surgery. His seminal work investigates the ocular risks associated with robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP), a procedure requiring patients to be placed in a steep, head-down Trendelenburg position. Dr. Nomoto’s most cited study, “Transient but Significant Visual Field Defects after Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy in Deep Trendelenburg Position” (2015, 60 citations), was a landmark contribution. It provided the first detailed evidence that the dramatic rise in intraocular pressure (IOP) during prolonged RALP can lead to transient visual field defects, a critical safety finding for surgeons and anesthesiologists. By identifying this previously underappreciated complication, his work has directly informed protocols for patient positioning and intraoperative monitoring, enhancing surgical safety. Dr. Nomoto’s research bridges the gap between surgical technique and patient morbidity, establishing a new standard of care in minimally invasive prostate cancer surgery and highlighting the importance of interdisciplinary vigilance in the operating room.
